Nope, Im holding up the flag right along with you, love. This is just the first moment I've had to write!
First of all, Sara cracks me up. "Good thing I have underwear on! Ok, y'all! BYE!!!!"
And Idina looks tragic, I must agree.
Okay, now to the episode.
That episode had SO much more potential than they actually followed through on. I was marginally disappointed.
Frankly, I really would have liked to have seen Izzie and Callie throw down. Fo'shizzle. Okay, yeah I definitely just said fo'shizzle, but seriously. When Callie finally told Izzie off, I really wanted her to turn around and just punch Izzie in the fcuking face. Really. Just clothes line her. Please. Now, I like Izzie and all but the fact that she CLEARLY doesn't realize that destroying a marriage is a huge deal and DOES have repercussions irritates me to no end.
George weenied out. He told Callie he slept with Izzie... he never told her he fell in love with her. George is a pretty decent, moral guy... I think he was trying not to hurt Callie any more than he knows he already has. However then Callie does the unthinkable and says she forgives him. That they took vows, he made a mistake and she forgives him. Now what is George gonna do? I think he was hoping Callie would end it, saving him having to be the bad guy.... but she doesn't. So now what?
Alex calling Izzie out adds a bit of complexity to the story line. He obviously fell for Ava/Rebecca/Jane Doe, but his comment to Izzie leads me to believe he still sorta holds a torch for her.
Norman... his presence irritates me slightly. I've yet to figure out his "lot in life" if you will.
Coming back to Callie for a moment... we see throughout the episode that Bailey is trying to work with Callie. Callie, on the other hand, is having a meltdown. Her true breaking point? Yelling at her patient's boyfriend. This is when George realizes that no, Callie has NOT forgiven him. It's just something you say. He want's so desperately for Callie not to have forgiven him -- because he WAS wrong, he DID hurt her and he doesn't deserve forgiveness -- so he calls her out on it.... and she tells him honestly, "no, I have not forgiven you."
Following in the trend of forgiveness in this episode are Derek and Meredith. And can I just say, I'd like a McDreamy of my own. Preferrably one that resembles Patrick Dempsey. Thanks. lol Derek has finally accepted that he's been at this love thing a long time and Meredith's just getting started. She's not there yet... and hopefully, with time, she will be. He's willing to give her that time and wait for her to get there because he loves her. He wants to build a life with her.... a weekend together isn't enough. He wants forever. Meredith does love him, very much... she just needs to get past her own demons and really let him love her.... and start to build a life with him. I hope we get to see it happen.
The most heart breaking moment of the episode was that between Richard and Camille (his niece). I teared up a little; not gonna lie. I do think it was unfair of Adelle to hang their relationship in the balance pending whether or not Richard was able to force Camille into treatment she didn't want. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see with that.
Next week's episode looks to be interesting.... Halloween coming early? Meredith bringing her mother's ashes to work? Ava/Rebecca/Jane Doe coming back for Alex? I can't wait!
